Jocelyn has a unique ability to relate immediately to her students and pupils, who find her enthusiastic and personable demeanour inspirational and a joy to work with. She believes that learning must be fun as motivation is very important, and formal examinations are only an option. She regards each student as an individual and develops a tailored tuition programme to match his or her abilities and aspirations.
Her teaching also includes a great deal of work with ADULTS - either those who want to start as beginners or those who learned when they were younger and wish to pick up their piano studies again with renewed enthusiasm!
Jocelyn is a world-renowned duet performer and Steinway artist. She believes that playing piano duets enhances learning and helps to make the observation of rhythm and the practice of sight-reading enjoyable, teaches the student how to interact with other musicians and learn the demands and responsibilities of ensemble performance.
Her forty years of performing and teaching experience, make her an invaluable asset to young (and older) instrumentalists and singers who benefit from her expertise and understanding as an accompanist and performance coach whether for an exam or recital.
Jocelyn’s students’ achievements are proof of her teaching, performance coaching and accompanying skills. Many of these students comment on how easily Jocelyn is able to put them at their ease and inspire them to improve and achieve their goals.

Tuning Temperaments
How many piano tuning temperaments are there?
There are countless variations, but most fall within three major categories;
1. Meantone, which generally concentrated the dissonance into a few unusable intervals (often called "wolf" intervals), so that the others could be Just. These are often called "restrictive" tunings, since there are certain intervals that are not usable. Good intervals are really good, bad ones are really bad. The Meantone era was approx. 1400-1700
2. Well-Temperament, which gives more consonance to the most often used keys, and more dissonance to the lesser used ones. Though not equal, these tunings are "non-restrictive" because all intervals can be used. The intervals range from Just to barely acceptable. Well-temperament refers to a genre, not a specific tuning. The Well-Tempered era is approx. 1700-1880.
3. Equal Temperament, which spreads the dissonance equally among all intervals.
There is no difference in consonance or dissonance between any keys, thus, there are no good ones or bad ones. Equal temperament represents a complete average. Dates of its acceptance are debated, but there is ample evidence that it was widely available by 1900 and is the predominate tuning on keyboards, today.
